[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The criticisms here are hilarious. Yes, they don't have the best MLS Academy, but every single person on this thread would kill to have their kid on DC, and I call BS on anyone that says otherwise. [/quote] Call BS on me then. My kid is an MLS Next player, and I would not entertain an offer from DC United. Why? My kid, like ay other kid - even the skilled ones - is still in the less than 1% category of having a lucrative pro career. With that in mind, college soccer is the best route for him. Part of playing soccer in college is having the grades and the curriculum. It's very difficult to get that at DC United with the travel, transportation to and from, and overall structure. Even if he or she were to go pro, careers are usually a few years at best. Need to have an education because there has to be a life after soccer. Saying otherwise is like you quitting your job and buying lottery tickets every week as a career plan. [/quote]
